Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District at the National Assembly has no plans to leave the All Progressives Congress,whether now or the foreseeable future, APC chieftain Engineer Emmanuel Eboh has clarified, dismissing such rumours as vile and laughable propaganda.
In a swift reaction to speculation on a viral picture where a Delta North APC politician,Chief Emma Ejiofor, reportedly visited Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state and member of African Democratic Party, ADC, Chief Eboh said such meeting if true had nothing to do with the Senator.
He noted that while courtesy visits are routine among politicians of divergent party affiliations, Senator Nwoko remained unaware of the purported meeting between Amaechi and Ejiofor.
The APC chieftain emphasized that attempts by detractors to interpret the meeting as preparation for the defection of Senator Nwoko were mischievous and futile political intrigues.
He noted in the statement:
“ Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko is a faithful APC stalwart.He remains firm in support of His Excellency,President Bola Tinubu, the national leader of our party.He is totally committed to the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda and good governance in Delta.
“It is laughable for any one to suggest that Ned is preparing to leave APC. To where? A wise man who saw tomorrow and triggered political tsunami in the whole of Delta state.How can the first prominent political leader to move to APC leave a house he helped to build? Senator Nwoko stands in APC”
Chief further stated that “Senator Nwoko was not oblivious of negative propaganda endlessly contrived against him but noted that he would remain focused in his sterling legislative duties which had earned him much admiration and respect”
